This song embodies the spirit of youth, when we're free to hang out, see the sights, and write goofy lines like this one: We run green Keep our teeth nice and clean Supergrass lead singer Gaz Coombes was still a teenager when the song was released on their first album, I Should Coco, in 1995.
Supergrass is a British band that was part of the Britpop scene in the '90s. "Alright" was a big hit in the UK, but most Americans know it from the 1995 movie Clueless, where it plays in a scene where Cher (Alicia Silverstone) takes pictures of her friends in front of a fountain. The song also shows up in the 2000 movie On The Edge.
The video shows the band larking about on bicycles and a giant flying bed. It was directed by the team of Dom and Nic, who did all of the early Supergrass videos and later directed "Ava Adore" for Smashing Pumpkins. According to Spin magazine, the video attracted Stephen Spielberg's interest and he offered the group a Monkees-type TV show, but they turned him down.
